I just moved in my new house today
Well the movin' was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up in my mind to stay
Ain't no ghost was gonna scare me away
When I seen somethin' that gave me the creeps
Had a two big eyes and two big feet
Gonna be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss
And there ain't no ghost gonna scare me off
I stood right still and I did the freeze
And he did the stroll right up to me
Made a sound with his feet that sounded like a drum
Sayin' you'll be going when the mornin' comes
Say yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off
In the kitchen the stove was hot
Well he drank the coffee right from the pot
And he grabbed some meat right outta my hand
And drunk the hot grease from the frying pan
Well outside I heard a horrible sigh
Heard a whole lotta howling in the night
Then I heard a voice say "You better listen son
Better be gone when the morning comes"
Say yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss
Ain't no ghost gonna run me off
I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
Well I bought this house now you know I'm boss
Ain't no ghost gonna run me off
I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss
Ain't no ghost gonna run me off
Ain't no ghost gonna run me off
Ain't no ghost gonna run me off
Written by Geddin and originally performed by Johnny Fuller. As far as it's known, the song was played only once, during The River tour on 31 Oct 1980 at the Sports Arena, Los Angeles, CA. It was a Halloween show and Bruce was carried onstage in a coffin.
